Now that Let's Encrypt and ZeroSSL give (almost) anyone certs if they can add a DNS record or serve a file over HTTP on a domain, your argument against DNSSEC on the grounds of increased government/registry control doesn't re

That's a terrible idea. Bitcoin is completely public, you should use a privacy coin like Monero or ZCash.

Wasn't that what lettergram was saying? They specifically were talking about AdWords (regardless of whether that's the current name), which is Google's search ads system, not all of Google Ads.

"Web3" all too often is just the same old client-server model. The key difference is the API calls are formatted as Ethereum transactions and the server is Infura.

Chrome has an API that allows you to save to files without a new download every time. They made a pretty nice library that wraps that API on Chrome and it gracefully degrades on other browsers. https://web.dev/browser-fs-acc

You can locate, download, install, and set up a crypto wallet and be ready to accept payments in under 2 minutes. (I just did.) Setting up a bank account is far more involved.

Petnames are great but the issue is initial discovery. Passing around public keys isn't fun. Another IPFS alternative is BitTorrent v2 (The main changes are that it dedups files between torrents and uses sha256, not sha1) which does ba

Dispute resolution is trivial with a 2-of-3 multisig. The customer locks up funds until service has been provided and then in the ideal case the customer and merchant agree and pay the merchant. If there's a dispute, the dispute resolv

BitTorrent is easier to understand (IMO) and can sometimes be faster at lookups than IPFS. IPFS dedups content, whereas if you have an identical file in 2 torrents but only one is seeded, you can't download it from the other one. As fa

This is cool, but more centralized than it needs to be. The update check resolves libgen.crypto using @unstoppabledomains/resolution[0] with its default Ethereum provider, Infura[1]. That means that if Infura disables the default API k
